Troparion, Monk Martyr Andrew – Tone 4Trained in asceticism on the mountain, / with the weapon of the Cross thou didst destroy the spiritual assaults of the hostile powers, O all-blessed one. / Again thou didst bravely prepare for combat / and didst slay Copronymus with the sword of faith; // for both struggles thou hast been crowned by God, O monk-martyr Andrew of eternal memory.

Kontakion, Resurrection – Tone 8By rising from the tomb, Thou didst raise the dead and resurrect Adam. / Eve exults in Thy Resurrection, // and the world celebrates Thy Rising from the dead, O greatly Merciful One!

Kontakion, Prophet Hosea – Tone 4Illumined by the Spirit, thy heart was a vessel of illustrious prophecy, /seeing far-off things as though they were present. // Therefore, we venerate thee, glorious prophet Hosea.

Kontakion, Monk Martyr Andrew – Tone 3Today the Queen of cities / celebrates the radiant feast of thy light-bearing memory, / and invites every city and country to join her. / She rejoices for she has gained a great treasure: // thy body which sustained many struggles, martyr Andrew, beacon of Orthodoxy.

NOTE: The Monk Martyr Andrew of Crete is NOT the Andrew of Crete who wrote the Great Canon, an Archbishop who reposed in 712 or 726. This Monk Martyr Andrew was martyred in 767 for denouncing the iconoclastic heresy of the Emporer Constantine Copronymos.
